Two jam sessionsr and dance affairs were given in Curley Hall during October and Novemlierf-Sandwiched in between these were several field trips. One was the dedica- tion of the Henry Abbott Technical School, here in Danbury, at which the band was invited to plafy. The other was our trip to Hartford for the All-State Festival. There, during the day, the students observed the band, orchestra, and chorus rehearsals, and in the evening they attended a combined concert of these groups at the Bushnell Me- morial Auditorium. The next major event came November 18 and 19 when the department presented a one act operetta, Down in the Valley, by Kurt Weill. Each very successful per- formance was followed by a dance in Curley Hall to the coolH tunes of the jazz Beaux,', our department dance band.

SCIENCE DEPARTME T Another yearg and another graduation class has passed through the doors of Higgins Hall. For both the freshman and sophomore students it has been a year well spent, both educationally and socially. The election of the freshman officers to serve with the sophomores started off the year. Together we planned the Magazine Drive. When the time for our traditional Nov. 11 scrap drive came around, a tremendous increase in interest for the Department seemed to be aroused. It was a truly successful venture. With Christmas festivities in full swing, our Christmas banquet was greatly enjoyed by both students and faculty alike. After the excitement of Interim was over, we all started planning for The Eastern Colleges Science Conference held April 22 through April 24, The Conference was re- ceived with interest and enthusiasm. Before we realized it, up came graduation. For some it has pleasantly ended our formal education and for others of us it was another big step towards our educational goal.
